I find some good stuff as well, but it's surrounded by sameness, which considering the massive diversity in music, is inexcusable. Then again, it's nothing new, and musicians have been bitching about it for over fifty years.

And I'm with you in having wide-ranging, very eclectic tastes. I've always tended to gravitate to artists no one has ever heard of, some of whom are outrageously amazing musicians, though I like some more mainstream artists as well.

As for my books, I will likely self-publish, having worked for a book publisher in the past, but I will bring in a professional editor first. And it's most likely to be a friend I met right here on Steemit! ;-)
